Gameday Q&A with Peter from The No Look Pass

The San Antonio Spurs look to continue their new winning streak and their dominance over the Los Angeles Clippers as they face the Clippers tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

To talk about the game tonight, I turned to Peter Kim from The No Look Pass — one of the best NBA sites on the Internet — to talk Spurs and Clippers.

Check out Peter’s answers as he gives Project Spurs his take on the game, why the Clippers can’t seem to get things going with such a talented roster, and much more.

Jeff: On paper the Clippers seem to have all the right pieces. Blake Griffin, Eric Gordan, etc. So what’s the deal? Why can’t this team seem to get it together?

Peter: On offense there isn’t enough structure. Lots of times they’ll run a play with a slight variation over and over with limited options. When that doesn’t work, it usually ends up in the hands of the ball-handler to create. Luckily, it’s been Eric Gordon who has been getting to the line at will and is 5th in the league in FT attempts. And then we all know that Blake is a monster, freak of nature, all the good stuff.

Defensively, it’s been a disaster. The Clippers are 25th in the league in opponent’s points per game and can’t guard the 3 point line to save their lives.

We know they’re talented and the sky’s the limit but they’re lacking what all the elite teams have: chemistry, a good bench and veteran leadership. It’ll take a while before they get it all together.

Al-Farouq Aminu is having a nice rookie season. Did you expect this from him?

We really didn’t expect this from him this fast mainly because it didn’t look like he was going to get much playing time. He had a breakout game off the bench in New Orleans earlier in the year and he’s pretty much built up momentum from there. He’s also knocked down 54% of his 3′s which is a nice added bonus.

If he continues to develop at this rate, there’s no doubt that he’ll be the Clippers’ small forward for the foreseeable future.

Blake Griffin is a beast. Can you see him ending up with the Rookie of the Year award over Washington Wizards’ rookie John Wall?
